User blog comment:ElleWithNoi/Why I Love DMC 5 !/@comment-1164563-20190426165602

I *will* come across as condescending, but I have to point out that your post is surprisingly... abstract. In the end, the only tangible detail I managed to get out of all the text you wrote is that you like DMC5 because you have an interest in character design.

But I will criticize no more, at least for now. You asked for opinions, and I feel in the mood to provide one, or at least part of one.

DMC is... very special to me. It was the start of many "firsts". It was the first game in the action genre I really loved. It was the first game which put presentation before substance, and which I still loved to the frikin' bits. It was the game which prompted me to write on this wiki, an effort which at the time was quite an undertaking.

I learned a lot about English. About writing. Yes, I met friends here I happen to still be in contact to this day. (Although one should never take friendships as a given, as I have learned with the very same people.)

But most currently, DMC for me is a welcome from the past. A thing I thought dead, a thing I let go of to the point that when E3 announcement trailed dropped I felt nothing special about it... A phoenix risen, suddenly returning with strength like never before, almost ten years after it was burned to ashes by the company that created it.

Sometimes, rarely now, I still have moments when I think this is all just a dream.
